Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — travel and lodging (55.6%), food and beverage and education — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Dentsply Sirona Inc accounts for 62.4% of it on its own, with 12 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2024 at $18,461 and has fallen 92.5% since, to $1,379 in 2025. Among general practice clinicians in NJ 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 178 payments — averaging $182.48 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.
