This invention provides a biomimetic periodontal complex multilayer hydrogel tissue engineering scaffold, its preparation method, and its application, relating to the technical field of tissue engineering scaffolds. The biomimetic periodontal complex multilayer hydrogel tissue engineering scaffold comprises, from the inside out, a cementum repair layer, a periodontal ligament repair layer, and an alveolar bone repair layer; the cementum repair layer and the alveolar bone repair layer include a mineralized hydrogel layer; wherein the raw materials for preparing the mineralized hydrogel layer include modified hyaluronic acid, methacrylamide type I collagen, and hydroxyapatite; the alveolar bone repair layer includes a non-mineralized hydrogel layer; wherein the raw materials for preparing the non-mineralized hydrogel layer include modified hyaluronic acid, methacrylamide type I collagen, and fibrin I. This invention precisely matches the mechanical and biological requirements of each layer of the periodontal complex through a three-layer structure, a reversibly hydrazone-regulated viscoelastic gradient, and a differentiated biochemical microenvironment of nHAp / FBN1.

A method for measuring periodontal disease and treating diseases associated therewith includes: obtaining B-mode ultrasound images of a dentition and periodontium of a patient; identifying gingival margin (GM), alveolar bone crest (ABC), cementoenamel junction (CEJ), periodontal ligament (PDL), and gingival edge (GE) biomarkers on the B-mode ultrasound images, the GE biomarker being a part of periodontal soft tissue most distal from a tooth surface; evaluating a metric associated with periodontal disease using one or more of the GM, ABC, CEJ, PDL and GE biomarkers and based at least in part on the evaluating, performing an act that implements and / or adjusts a therapeutic treatment of a periodontal disease.
