Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — other (37.8%), food and beverage and consulting fees — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 16 manufacturers reported payments, led by Straumann USA LLC at 56.7% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2023 at $12,735 and has fallen 82.0% since, to $2,291 in 2025. Among oral and maxillofacial surgery clinicians in AZ with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 5% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
Across 131 payments — averaging $216.00 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
