Figure 1
Typical setup for BMG harvest. The dry X-ray-detectable gauze sponge is packed to the contralateral oral space, and three retraction sutures are used with the middle incorporated into the distal apex of the graft. The Army–Navy retractors were used only for photographic exposure of the harvest site and are not typically needed during harvest. The image was obtained intraoperatively at Duke University Medical Center, with the operation completed under routine care. BMG, buccal mucosal graft.
