<P> The parotid duct , a long excretory duct , emerges from the front of each gland , superficial to the masseter muscle . The duct pierces the buccinator muscle , then opens into the mouth on the inner surface of the cheek , usually opposite the maxillary second molar . The parotid papilla is a small elevation of tissue that marks the opening of the parotid duct on the inner surface of the cheek . </P>
