Fractures of the floor of orbit commonly known as blow out fracture. It may be classified into pure and impure fractures. Isolated fractures of orbit are known as pure. many biomaterials have been used over the years to reconstruct the floor. This review discusses the role of different biomaterials for orbital floor reconstruction.
