Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by speaking fees: $122,418 of the $145,509 with a category attached, or 84.1%. Implant Direct Sybron International LLC accounts for 84.2% of it on its own, with 10 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2023 at $49,723 and has fallen 98.6% since, to $673 in 2025. Among dentist clinicians in GA 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.
