Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — food and beverage (38.7%), speaking fees and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Straumann USA LLC accounts for 61.0% of it on its own, with 13 other manufacturers making up the rest. Among periodontics clinicians in AZ 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 133 payments — averaging $145.35 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
