Using the equations of self-consistent charge dynamics for the grain charge fluctuations, electron plasma oscillations in a dusty plasma are studied. It is shown that the instability in longitudinal plasma oscillations disappears if the self-consistent grain charge dyanmics is taken into account. The relation of this result with previous work is discussed. {copyright} {ital 1997} {ital The American Physical Society}
