Abstract (EN): Potentially malignant disorders are one of the clinical challenges. Dysplasia in these lesions can be a predictor of more potential for malignant changes. Photo-bio-modulation in benign lesions has advantages, but there is doubt on its safety in potentially malignant lesions. This study aims to assess if low-level laser can promote dysplastic changes while the method can play an important role in management of dysplastic lesions. Dysplasia was induced on anterior wall of the buccal pouch of 80 young Syrian male hamsters. Then, hamsters were divided to four groups to receive 4 and 12 sessions irradiation of 660 and 810 nanometers low-level lasers. For histopathologic study of the tissue, we used light microscopes. Using SPSS, data were analyzed via Wilcoxon signed rank test and Mann-Whitney U-test. In all of our four groups, the severity of dysplasia had no statistical difference in study sides comparing with their own controls. Wavelength and numbers of laser irradiation sessions had no statistically meaningful effect on the severity of dysplasia either. Low-level lasers appear to show no relevant or significant effect over the aggravation of the dysplasia's severity. Neither the wavelength nor the number of sessions appear to have any impact in the results.
