Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by speaking fees: $92,059 of the $129,573 with a category attached, or 71.0%. Dentsply Sirona Inc accounts for 68.9% of it on its own, with 15 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2023 at $35,962 and has fallen 62.1% since, to $13,641 in 2025. Among dentist 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 263 payments — averaging $492.67 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
