Abstract
The pathology of pulp space infection is discussed. It is recommended that a direct incision which is localised precisely to the abscess site, even if the incision is in the tactile pad, is better than a lateral incision, which fails to maintain drainage, causes longer incapacity, and may injure the digital nerve and give rise to causalgia. Fifty cases of pulp space infection in which a direct incision was used are reviewed.
