This invention discloses a three-quadrant split-type oral impression tray and its usage method. The tray is composed of a left posterior tooth component, a right posterior tooth component, and an anterior tooth component that can be detachably assembled. The left and right posterior tooth components are symmetrically structured, and each has a pair of L-shaped protrusions along its length. The anterior tooth component has corresponding mating grooves at the L-shaped protrusions. The metal connectors adopt a foolproof asymmetrical tenon design. After being inserted into the mating grooves, they achieve smooth locking through precise clearance tolerances. At the same time, magnetic suction pieces are pre-installed in the mating grooves. The tray can be quickly disassembled into three independent units, adapting to various scenarios of partial impression taking for single jaw full teeth, anterior teeth, and anterior teeth and unilateral posterior teeth. When taking an impression, the surface contact between each component and the oral tissue ensures stable support. When demolding, linear separation is achieved by disassembling the components to disperse resistance. All connectors and mating structures are located at the bottom of the tray, completely avoiding encroachment on the operating space outside the oral cavity.
