Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by ownership interests: $1,187,094 of the $1,229,672 with a category attached, or 96.5%. Sonendo Inc accounts for 100.0% of it on its own, with 1 other manufacturer making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2020 at $732,400 and has fallen 99.7% since, to $2,076 in 2022. Among endodontics clinicians in CA 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 20 payments — averaging $61,484 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

General payments by program year
Who reported the general payments
Companies are grouped under their corporate parent — a single manufacturer often files under several CMS reporting entities. Research and ownership payments are counted separately and are not in this table.

|---|---|---|
| Sonendo Inc | 18 | $1,229,639 |
| Biolase, Inc. | 2 | $33 |
What the payments were tied to
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.
- GentleWave Console$476,694
