Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — speaking fees (57.0%), consulting fees and food and beverage — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Straumann USA LLC accounts for 80.8% of it on its own, with 14 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2021 at $81,474 and has fallen 87.7% since, to $10,045 in 2025. Among oral and maxillofacial surgery clinicians in NJ 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 122 payments — averaging $2035.07 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
