Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — royalties or licence payments (41.2%), speaking fees and consulting fees — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 7 manufacturers reported payments, led by Tulsa Dental Products LLC at 54.3% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $268,518 and has fallen 85.9% since, to $37,925 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.
Across 229 payments — averaging $2489.74 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

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.
