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.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessPolyethylene terephthalateLow pressure plasmananotopographyPeriodontal ligament fibroblastsConference Object483486WOS:000292658400050
