This study aims to evaluate the healing of autogenous bone graft which applied in the gaps of two stage splitting technique. Material and Method: This study included 7 cases of tow stage splitting technique applied in the posterior region of mandible, autogenous bone graft taken from retromolar region was applied into the gaps of splitting, histological bone examination was assessed following trephine bone harvesting during the dental implant insertion. Results: Moderate to complete integration of the bone graft was found in 6 specimens with good bone formation. While in the seventh specimen the integration and bone formation were weak.Conclusion: Application of autogenous bone graft in the alveolar splitting technique leaded to have good integration and good bone formation}, number={3}, publisher={Zonguldak Bulent Ecevit University}
