The trabecular bone is located between the alveolar bone proper and the cortical bone plates. Trabecular bone, also known as cancellous bone, consists of bony trabeculae and marrow spaces. In adult patients the marrow spaces are rich in adipocytes and mesenchymal cells. Mesenchymal cells have bone-forming potential and may be induced to form bone, but they also support the differentiation of hemopoietic cells into osteoclasts that will initiate bone resorption.
