Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — food and beverage (43.6%), gifts and speaking fees — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Straumann USA LLC accounts for 67.3% of it on its own, with 8 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2022 at $9,865 and has fallen 59.0% since, to $4,049 in 2025. Among oral and maxillofacial pathology 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 305 payments — averaging $109.52 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
