Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — food and beverage (55.8%), travel and lodging and education — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 16 manufacturers reported payments, led by Zimvie Inc. at 54.2% of the total. Among dentist clinicians in LA 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 235 payments — averaging $62.16 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

Products named in the reported payments. Only payments of $100 or more are attributed here — the typical reported payment nationally is a meal worth about $16, and listing those product-by-product would be noise.
