Fig. 1 — Bone remodeling occurs both within cortical bone and on bone surfaces. A central tenet of bone physiology is remodeling, where the coordinated spatial and temporal actions of osteoblasts and osteoclasts renew damaged/compromised bone tissue. Remodeling occurs both within cortical bone (intracortical/osteonal remodeling) and on bone surfaces. Image taken from a dog mandible (~15 months old). Blue arrows point to osteonal remodeling within the alveolar cortical bone. Yellow arrows point to surface remodeling on the surface adjacent to the tooth.
