Hi,
Wisdom tooth can be used. There is no risk involved as such. However, health, orientation and condition of wisdom tooth needs to be checked and whether it is fit to provide support for bridge. This all needs to be verified by your treating dentist.

There is no risk if you wish to use your wisdom tooth as a support for false tooth . Rest depends on the ability of your wisdom tooth, many factors to keep in mind when using a tooth as a support which only can be determined by having an xray of that tooth and diagnosis performed.
