Item 1.02  Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

      On April 4, 2005 we, Crdentia Corp., CRDE Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary
of Crdentia Corp., and the shareholders of Healthcare Innovations Private
Services, Inc., mutually agreed to terminate that certain Agreement and Plan of
Reorganization, dated as of November 14, 2004 (the "Merger Agreement"), which
agreement was reported by Crdentia Corp. in a current report on Form 8-K filed
on November 15, 2004. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the
Agreement, HCI Holding Corporation, the prospective parent of Healthcare
Innovations Private Services, Inc., would have merged with and into CRDE Corp.,
and CRDE Corp. would have survived the merger as a subsidiary of Crdentia Corp.,
in exchange for aggregate merger consideration consisting of (i) $9,000,000 in
cash paid to HCI Holding Corporation at closing, and (ii) a number of shares of
our common stock having an aggregate market value of $19,000,000.

      The parties determined that terminating the Merger Agreement was in the
best interests of each of the constituent corporations and their shareholders.
There were no penalties incurred by the parties in connection with the
termination.
