Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by consulting fees: $79,547 of the $123,910 with a category attached, or 64.2%. Sonendo Inc accounts for 97.5% of it on its own, with 9 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2022 at $43,556 and has fallen 92.1% since, to $3,428 in 2025. 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.
