This is shortened Latin terminology referring to the surfaces of the teeth. M stands for Mesial, which means toward the middle(of the front jaw.) O stands for Occlusal which is pertaining to the chewing surface of the tooth. L stands for Lingual which is relating to the surface of the tooth next to the tongue.
I found this video that visually explains the surfaces of the teeth for further reference.
