This was an interventional study of quasi-experimental design. The study was distributed in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Dhaka Dental College Hospital and Department of Oculoplastic surgery, National Institute of Ophthalmology, Dhaka, Bangladesh during the period from July 2008 to June 2010. Our aim was to determine the superiority of the corticocancellous iliac bone over alloplastic material in respect of outcome in the reconstruction of blowout orbital floor facture. A total of 21patients admitted into Dhaka Dental Collage Hospital and National Institute of Ophthalmology with blowout fracture. Of the 21 patients with orbital blowout fracture 9 were given with alloplastic material (titanium mesh) and 12 were given with autogenous material (corticocancellous iliac bone).A total of 4 assessments (Baseline, after operation, at 3 months and at 6 months) were done for the collection of data. Among the subject of alloplastic group 22.2%were aged below 20 years, 33.3% were aged between 20-39 years, 33.3% were aged between 40-59 years and 11.1% were aged above 60 years. In the autogenous group 16.7% were aged below 20 years, 41.7% were aged between 20-39 years, 25.0% were aged between 40-59 years and 16.7% were aged above 60 years. In the Alloplastic group 77.8% had operation in right side. At preoperative period 22.2% in Alloplastic group and 25% in Autogenous group had enophthalmos.
