The effect of massive charged dust grains on plasma--wall interaction is investigated using the electrostatic probe model for the dust charging process. It is shown that the dust grains can have a substantial effect on the behavior of the electrostatic potential and particle densities near the wall. {copyright} {ital 1995} {ital American} {ital Institute} {ital of} {ital Physics}.
