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.
Across 105 payments — averaging $2593.02 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
