A dental video imaging system includes a housing having a handle portion (10 6) and a distal end portion (102). The distal end portion (102) has a view port (204) for viewing intra- and extra- oral dental anatomy. An optical system i s mounted in the distal end (102) of the housing for acquiring, orienting and transmitting an image of the dental anatomy appearing in said view port (204 ). A sensor assembly (210), mounted in the distal end (102) of the housing, converts images received through the optical system into video data signals. A camera control unit (CCU) (202) is mounted in the handle portion (106) of th e housing. The CCU (202) includes a signal processor for receiving the video data image signal from the sensor (210) and then providing a S-video, composite video or digital video signal output of the images.
