This has for objective the modification of the surface of the fibers, as well as the wettability of the posts, seeking the improvement of the adhesion and of the connection fiber/resin in the processing of polymeric composites reinforced with the same ones. 120 posts (Reforpost) were used and 30 meters of fibers of carbon and of glass (Fibrex), of the company Angelus. The samples were divided in three groups of 40 specimens: GROUP I - 20 posts of glass fiber and 20 of carbon without treatment to it shapes, GROUP II -20 posts of glass fiber and 20 of carbon treated to it shapes in the surface and GROUP III - 20 posts of glass fiber and 20 of carbon make with fibers in natura after plasma treatment. The plasma treatment was accomplished with oxygen and with temperature in the camera fixed at 200?C, for one hour of exhibition. The posts and the fibers were characterized before and after the treatment. The wettability was measure by pendent drop method, and interface fiber/resin and posts/cement were observed by optical and electronic microscopy. It was observed that both wettability and texture were increased with plasma treatment / O presente trabalho aborda o tratamento superficial a plasma de pinos e fibras de carbono e de vidro, para uso odontol?gico. Este tem por objetivo a modifica??o da superf?cie das fibras, bem como a superf?cie dos pinos, visando a melhoria da ades?o fibra/resina e pino/cimento. Foram utilizados 120 pinos (Reforpost) e 30 metros de fibras de carbono e de vidro (Fibrex), da empresa Angelus. As amostras foram divididas em tr?s grupos de 40 esp?cimes: GRUPO I - 20 pinos de fibra de vidro e 20 de fibra de carbono sem tratamento em plasma, GRUPO II -20 pinos de fibra de vidro e 20 de carbono tratados a plasma na superf?cie e GRUPO III- 20 pinos de fibra de vidro e 20 de carbono confeccionados a partir do tratamento em plasma da fibra in natura . O tratamento em plasma foi realizado com atmosfera de oxig?nio durante 1 hora. Tanto as fibras como os pinos foram colocados a uma dist?ncia de 7cm, de modo a evitar o aquecimento dos mesmos. A temperatura do catodo foi de 200?C. Os pinos e as fibras foram caracterizados antes e ap?s o tratamento, atrav?s de metalografia, microscopia ?tica e eletr?nica de varredura. Em seguida, foram realizados ensaios de capilaridade das fibras, tor??o e molhabilidade nos pinos. Os resultados mostram que o tratamento empregado modifica a superf?cie das fibras, aumenta a molhabilidade dos pinos, modifica a textura superficial de ambos quando em compara??o com as amostras sem tratamento, como tamb?m demonstra um aumento da ades?o das interfaces fibra/matriz e pino/cimento resinoso
