What are the risks (long term and short term) of using Cadaver Bone Graft before Dental Implant?

kaygee_07
What are the risks (long term and short term) of using cadaver bone graft before dental implant? Would it be better to just have the tooth (last molar on the lower area) extracted than to extract and do an implant? My last molar has infection, which is my dentist said we might need to do a bone graft for better support of the implant.
