What does the abbreviation 'BOP' stand for in dental terminology?

  1. Bone Opening Procedure

  2. Bleaching Oral Procedure

  3. Buccal Occlusal Patterning

  4. Bleeding on Probing

The correct answer is: Bleeding on Probing

BOP in dental terminology stands for "Bleeding on Probing." It is used to refer to the presence of bleeding from the gums when probed by a dental instrument. This is often an indication of gum disease or inflammation, and can be a concern for proper oral health. The other options, Bone Opening Procedure, Bleaching Oral Procedure, and Buccal Occlusal Patterning, are not commonly used or recognized abbreviations in dentistry.
