Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by food and beverage: $2,067 of the $3,274 with a category attached, or 63.2%. 20 manufacturers reported payments, led by Dentsply Sirona Inc at 47.7% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2020 at $733 and has fallen 51.7% since, to $355 in 2025. Among dentist clinicians in OH 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 103 payments — averaging $31.78 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
