Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — food and beverage (34.0%), education and speaking fees — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 14 manufacturers reported payments, led by Dentsply Sirona Inc at 40.5% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2022 at $7,367 and has fallen 75.1% since, to $1,832 in 2025. 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 154 payments — averaging $151.15 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
