Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — speaking fees (59.8%), travel and lodging and food and beverage — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Straumann USA LLC accounts for 90.0% of it on its own, with 8 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2024 at $27,336 and has fallen 87.4% since, to $3,454 in 2025. Among prosthodontics clinicians in CO 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 194 payments — averaging $316.42 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
