recementing
Fixing loose adhesion
Recementing is the process of cementing again—applying new cement to repair, reinforce, or replace what has failed or deteriorated.
In dentistry, recementing restores crowns or bridges that have come loose: The dentist recementing my crown took only fifteen minutes.
In oil drilling, recementing seals gaps in well casings.
In construction, it means repairing cracked or damaged concrete joints.
