On approach when a yaw to the right occurred which was accompanied by a loud bang. The pilot lowered the collective and made an autorotation onto uneven ground. A laboratory inspection of the tail rotor components indicated that the tail rotor teeter bolt had failed in flight. As the bolt was lost the cause of the failure was not established.
