Best Answer

The principle of regurgitation test is to apply pressure over the lacrimal sac area and observe watering or any discharge arising. Lacrimal sac is placed medially so direction of force must be sideways which can be applied more appropriately using index or little finger rather than the thumb which applies pressure more in an anteroposterior direction when using the palmer aspect.
