Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows

Reporting peaked in 2024 at $43,808 and has fallen 77.9% since, to $9,666 in 2025. Among periodontics clinicians in MD 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.
