Dental caries is a well-known factor leading to various dental complications, affecting both the health and quality of life. Type of pit and fissures such as "V" and "K" are more susceptible to dental caries where mechanical cleaning becomes a challenge. This study is conducted to evaluate the association of gender with deep pit and fissure among the Index age group 35-44 years old. A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted using the patient records of the University hospital. A total of 103 consecutive case records of patients who underwent pit and fissure sealant were retrieved and analysed. Descriptive statistics were done to find the prevalence and association of gender and deep pit and fissures among the index age group. The number of teeth with bottomless pit and fissures was higher in males (52.43%) than in females (47.57%). Also, individuals of age group 35-40 years had a larger number of teeth with deep pit and fissures (74.75%) than the age group 41-45 years. No significant association was found between gender and the number of deep pits and fissures (p&gt;0.05). The proportion of deep pit and fissures was high in males compared to females.
