reintegration

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'restoration' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'doctored integer to share in' is the wordplay.
'doctored' is an anagram indicator.
'to share' becomes 'ration' (a ration is a share of a limited resource).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'integer' anagrammed gives 'eintegr'.
'eintegr' going into 'ration' is 'REINTEGRATION'.
