For the mission type, please see ADR looping.
The term ADR looping is used in the film making industry as an abbreviation for automated dialogue replacement or additional dialogue recording. It is the technical name for "looping", the process of re-recording dialogue following photography.
Location filming often required looping, such as DS9: "In the Hands of the Prophets". (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion, p. 81)
The Star Trek series had looping stages where dialogue could be recorded. (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion, p. 81 & 463)
