In a method for orienting a bridge ( 3 ) in position relative to a dental implant ( 1 ) with the aid of spacer members, these are brought into cooperation with, on the one hand, the respective implant and, on the other hand, with fastening members ( 11 ) arranged in the bridge. A first sleeve-shaped part ( 9 ) included in the spacer member is bought into cooperation with the implant ( 1 ). A second sleeve-shaped part ( 10 ) included in the spacer member is brought into cooperation with, on the one hand, the first sleeve-shaped part and, on the other hand, with a fastening member in the bridge. Said sleeve-shaped parts ( 9, 10 ) are made to assume assembled positions when the bridge is anchored to the implants. Upon detachment of the bridge from the implant, the first and second sleeve-shaped parts are separated so that the first sleeve-shaped part can maintain its position on the implant. The second sleeve-shaped part can follow along with the bridge or can constitute a free part. The invention also relates to an arrangement for obtaining said position orientation. By means of the invention, it is possible to reduce the number of components in connection with bridge installations. A good esthetic appearance can be maintained, and it is possible to minimize damage which can cause bone absorption.
