There are six types of bone cells. One produces bone, some maintain bone, and one even breaks down bone. Osteoblasts are builder cells, and they secrete osteoid, which forms a 'bone matrix'. This eventually forms solid bone, as the Osteoblasts 'mineralize' the matrix (build onto the matrix) to make it stronger.
Bones are made of units called osteons and an oseton contains a special cell called an osteoblast. An osetoblast makes the mineral matrix that the hard stuff of bone is made of.

There are these cells called osteoblasts which refill bone
They're probably concentrate calcium around bones...
