There are three special types of cells that are found only in the bone. These cell names all start with OSTEO because that is the Greek word for bone. OSTEOCLASTS are large cells that dissolve the bone. They come from the bone marrow and are related to white blood cells.
Osteoblasts are bone-forming cells. âStimulatory effects of fluoride on osteoblasts result in formation of osteoid, which subsequently undergoes mineralization.â (Fisher RL, et al. 1989). If the new osteoid tissue is subsequently mineralized, an increase in bone density will result.
