recemented

Bonded once more

Recemented is the past tense of recement, meaning to cement again—to reattach or rebond something that was previously cemented but has come loose.

The term appears most often in dentistry, where crowns, veneers, or other restorations sometimes need to be recemented after failing: The dentist recemented the crown that had fallen off.
