Recrystallization

Recrystallization was the process of matter being reorganized into crystalline form.
Dilithium crystals could be recrystallized with various technologies. One such device was a dilithium incubator created by the Xahean Me Hani Ika Hali Ka Po. (; )
Starfleet did not have the ability to recrystallize dilithium until at least the 2280s. During a time travel mission from 2286 to 1986, Spock and Montgomery Scott developed a method of recrystallizing dilithium through exposure to high-energy photons from the toxic nuclear fission reactors of that era.

In the 24th century, the theta-matrix compositor aboard the starship made the recrystallization process of dilithium ten times more efficient than on the older ships. ()
The Enterprise-D recomposited fractured dilithium crystals while they were still inside the articulation frame. ()
By the 2360s, Starfleet had the ability to synthesize dilithium via recrystallization while it was still enclosed in the warp core's dilithium articulation frame using a theta-matrix compositor. This was done by recompositing fractured crystals. (; )
The reaction chamber of the was equipped with a compositor that allowed the recrystallization of dilithium. While stranded in the Delta Quadrant, the crew could never be sure when they'd be able to find a new supply. ()
In the 32nd century, Cleveland Booker had a dilithium recrystallizer aboard his ship. ()
