This study focuses more on dental caries and long term corticosteroid use.

No research ever provides definitive answers to these questions and this one is no exception. This study suggests steroid inhalers are mostly the problem.
"Future randomized controlled clinical studies are warranted to confirm these findings."

@dadcue I do not question that no one randomized clinical study will answer any medical question. One of the problems with studying the question, "Is prednisone related to tooth decay" is what is the level of oral hygiene prior to taking prednisone and after taking prednisone due to some disease. Often the disease the requires prednisone causes physical and mental problems and life style changes that affect the level of oral hygiene.
