    Impact of Nanotopography And/Or Functional Groups on Periodontal Ligament Cell Growth
    (Springer, 2010) Sasmazel, Hilal Turkoglu; Manolache, S.; GumusderlIoglu, M.; Metallurgical and Materials Engineering; 06. School Of Engineering; 01. Atılım University
    The main purpose of this contribution was to obtain COOH functionalities and/or nanotopographic changes on the surface of 3D, non-woven polyester fabric (NWPF) discs (12.5 mm in diameter) by using low pressure water/O-2 plasma assisted treatments. The prepared discs were characterized by various methods after the plasma treatment. Periodontal ligament (PDL) fibroblasts were used in cell culture studies. The cell culture results showed that plasma treated 3D NWPF discs are favorable for PDL cell spreading, growth and viability due to the presence of functional groups and/or the nanotopography of their surfaces.
