Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — food and beverage (46.9%), gifts and speaking fees — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Straumann USA LLC accounts for 89.5% of it on its own, with 15 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2021 at $4,632 and has fallen 97.6% since, to $112 in 2025. Among oral and maxillofacial surgery clinicians in TX with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 10% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
Across 116 payments — averaging $82.58 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
