What does M.O. mean in dentist terms?

What does "M.O." mean in dental terminology? I understand it relates to cavities, but could someone clarify its exact meaning?

Each surface of your tooth has a name. For back teeth they are:

front = mesial

back = distal

top = occlusal

inside = lingual

outside = buccal

The MO (mesial occlusal) means you have a cavity between your teeth, specifically on the front side of your tooth and the biting surface.

It means the surfaces of the tooth that are included in the filing. M is mesial which is the side of the tooth that is closer to the front teeth, and the O means occlusal which is the biting surface of the tooth. So your filling is a 2 surface filling that extends on the biting surface to the side of the tooth that is closer to the front teeth.
