MO stands for mesial-occlusal filling. meaning that the side of your teeth that is close to your lips has a cavity as does the top of your tooth. mesial=closest to the front of your mouth occlusal= top of your tooth.
DO stands for disto-occlusal filling. meaning the side of your tooth that is closest to throat has a cavity as does the top of your tooth. disto=closest to the throat. occlusal meaning the top of your tooth
Edit: Yes these are two of the most common procedures that dentist do. It is just a way that dentist talk so that they know in more exact detail what type of filling they are doing
