promising biomaterial for clinical application in the future. For this aim, it
is suggested that the potential directions for the study of MBG include (1)
large animal models should be used to further investigate the in vivo osteo-
genesis and degradation of MBG; and (2) the effect of drug delivery on the
in vivo osteogenesis is unclear, and further studies need to be conducted in
the future.
