text: Once a certain amount of osteoid has been deposited, and we do not know whether the amount is critical, but a minimum of osteoid is perhaps required to ensure the spacing of osteocytes (osteocyte generations) in the bone matrix, osteoblasts become trapped, probably by the mechanism first proposed by Nefussi et al.
