Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — consulting fees (59.8%), speaking fees and food and beverage — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Convergent Dental Inc. accounts for 99.7% of it on its own, with 10 other manufacturers making up the rest. Among dentist clinicians in NC 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 41 payments — averaging $10,787 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

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.
