Alveolar bone normally undergoes remodeling on 1 side of the socket and modeling on the opposite side as the tooth migrates at a rate of 6.7 .mu.m/day. Periodontal ligament width remains constant. Because of this high turnover rate, this bone is a good model to study bone modeling and remodeling activities. To measure the different cellular events occurring during tooth migration along the alveolar bone of the rat, histomorphometric measurements were performed which permitted calculation of the duration of each phase of the remodeling cycle, i.e., resorption lasts about 1.5 days and reversal about 3.5 days. Since the duration of the forming phase is about 1 day, the total duration of each remodeling cycle is about 6 days. This time is very short compared to 60-120 days in adult human trabecular bone. In this model each osteoclast resorbs 2-4 .times. its own volume of bone per day. Effects of experimental conditions on bone cells and bone remodeling can be accurately measured in this rat alveolar bone model.
