Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

The money is spread across several categories — speaking fees (39.4%), consulting fees and royalties or licence payments — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Dentium Co., Ltd accounts for 71.0% of it on its own, with 4 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $54,572 and has fallen 83.6% since, to $8,965 in 2025. Among periodontics clinicians in MA 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.

Who reported the general payments

Companies are grouped under their corporate parent — a single manufacturer often files under several CMS reporting entities. Research and ownership payments are counted separately and are not in this table.

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.

How this compares

$272,267 in reported general payments places this provider in the 95th percentile of 243 periodontics providers in Massachusetts.
