In the latter part of the bone remodeling process, some areas of the new formed bone awaits a new cycle. The bone is made up of the lining cells and the osteocytes which are both derived from mature osteoblast. The osteocytes are embedded in the bone matrix and probably act as the main key in the initiation of remodeling activity of the bones. After the synthesis of the new matrix from osteoblast, the primary mineralization occurs quickly by an inorganic phase mainly composed of calcium and phosphate ions. After the full completion of this basic structural unit, a secondary mineralization begins. This kind of process consists of a slow and very gradual maturation of mineral component.
