Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — food and beverage (41.8%), gifts and speaking fees — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 17 manufacturers reported payments, led by A-dec, Inc. at 31.1% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2023 at $14,172 and has fallen 65.3% since, to $4,923 in 2025. Among periodontics clinicians in MA 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 215 payments — averaging $175.34 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
