Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — speaking fees (57.6%), consulting fees and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Straumann USA LLC accounts for 98.2% of it on its own, with 7 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2021 at $71,699 and has fallen 65.3% since, to $24,882 in 2025. Among prosthodontics clinicians in NY 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 159 payments — averaging $1594.88 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.
