Osteoclasts: A large multinuclear cell associated with the absorption and removal of bone. An odontoclast, also called cementoclast, is cytomorphologically the same as an osteoclast and is involved in cementum resorption.
Osteoblasts: Cells that arise from fibroblasts and which, as they mature, are associated with the production of bone.
