INTRODUCTION
In adult bone, bone remodeling maintains structural integrity via the clearance and repair of damaged bone and regulates mineral homeostasis.1–2 Osteoclastic bone resorption and osteoblastic bone formation occur sequentially in a synchronized manner at adjacent anatomical spots to preserve bone volume (BV).
