A dental cleaning wipe comprising a non-woven textile carrier impregnated with an aqueous dental hygiene composition having at least a portion of its constituents encapsulated in microcapsules deposited on the surface of said carrier, which wipe comprises two different types of microcapsules (a) mechanically breakable microcapsules: at least 80% of the mechanically rupturable microcapsules must be able to withstand a pressure equal to 20 g/cm2, and about 90% of these microcapsules must rupture to release their contents by rupture of their envelope at a pressure equal to 500 g/cm2, the membrane of these microcapsules having to be substantially insoluble in water or rendered insoluble in water by a crosslinking or precipitating agent; it consists of, for example, cross-linked gelatin, cross-linked carboxymethyl cellulose, polyamide, cross-linked polyacrylate, silicone, melamine resin with a low residual formaldehyde content, polyvinyl alcohol polyvinyl alcohol crosslinked with borax, chitosan, or more generally a water-insoluble polymer obtained by complex coacervation, or in situ or interfacial polymerization, and (b) controlled diffusion microcapsules: capable of withstanding without rupture the pressure exerted during application of the wipe and, in any case, pressures of at least 2000 g/cm2, and whose contents are released by permeation through the envelope, which has a porosity controllable by its thickness and degree of crosslinking, the membrane of these microcapsules having to be substantially insoluble in water or rendered insoluble in water by a crosslinking or precipitating agent; it consists, for example, of incompletely crosslinked gelatin, incompletely crosslinked carboxymethyl cellulose, polyamide, silicone, or more generally of a water-insoluble polymer obtained by complex coacervation or in situ or interfacial polymerization.
